That will depend on your employment agreement. Most employers are not going to prevent someone from going to their own mother's funeral.
No, one would assume you would go to your mothers funeral regardless of reward
Legally the person who paid for the funeral would get the book, I would think. From a personal standpoint, I would say the next of kin to the deceased, or the person who would treasure it the most, if these are not the same person.
If you are a relative and would be entitled to them if you could have afforded to pay for the funeral, then yes you would be able to keep them. Ask whoever is going to pay for the funeral and make them aware before the cremation that you wish to keep the ashes, otherwise they might be scattered.
Usually not. Maternity leave is technically medical leave. New mothers are out on leave for 6-8 weeks to heal, per the OB's orders. You would be entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid FLMA leave. Check with your employeer, sometimes they have special programs that allow parents who adopt to take off a few paid weeks. CONGRATS on your baby!
I would, if I'm the mother. But I think, in general, more mothers would have just given the child a proper place to be buried into. Are you in that situation right now?
The employer is not required to give you paid time off. I am unaware of how he could "stop" you from taking unpaid time off. Any firing would be susceptible to a challenge.
Unlikely. It doesn't make sense. If you pay $10k in funeral expenses and the life insurance is 10 million - what kind of a deal is that? It would certainly be possible that if the insurance is payable to the estate of the deseased that the person who paid the funeral expenses could get the $$$ from there.
It would be more appropriate if you sent flowers to the home or funeral from you and staff or both unless otherwise specified in the obituary of the newspaper. Some people ask that donations be made to a certain charity.
In this scenario, the individual specified bequests for specific items of property, leaving the rest to the residual beneficiary. The person inheriting the remainder, known as the residual beneficiary, typically assumes responsibility for funeral expenses unless it is specifically stated otherwise in the will. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional to clarify the specific obligations in this context.
I would imagine the main equipment required by a funeral director would be a hearse!
Obama doesn't have a funeral plan. He is a private citizen now and would pay for his funeral.
